Favorite takes at Savory Spice Shop ??

I'm pretty thrilled this place has opened up another location closer to my digs in the Arboretum. I have a solid addiction to the Mt. Eolus greek blend for grilling chicken parts. A little jar for 3 bucks will last a few months and that's perfect, keeps me into fresh spices without having to buy the 12 ingredients and watch them oxidize and go flavorless in my cabinet.

Yep, for most or all, they grind and blend in house. This is the freshest selection of dried herbs and ground spices going in Austin. I love this store. The flavor compounds in spices are typically fat soluble and leach out of plastic containers (because its oil based). This shop stores in glass, which is impenetrable to these substances.

Made a trip out Savory Spice Shop. Love the store. The staff is very helpful. We bought: a half ounce of the Smoked Spanish Paprika, Hot and 1oz. eachRenaissance Gardens Seasoning- we did not enjoy this made into a dip. Will try it on some fish next.

For comparison,I ordered some Smoked Paprika from my usual place.http://www.worldspice.com/ The paprika from there has a darker color and a smokier aroma.

I recommend the aleppo crushed red pepper...start off using it on pizza instead of regular red pepper and soon you'll be using it on lots of other things...it's not as hot as red pepper and adds a richness and depth of flavor

Awesome! I keep on meaning to stop in there when I go to Con Olio, but I didn't know anything about them, nor did I know anyone who shopped there. Glad to hear it's awesome! I may check them out instead of hitting the bulk section of Central Market.
